"I had the pleasure of working with Mike, a general contractor for my multi-unit investment property on the northwest side of Chicago. Mike demonstrated a strong vision for how to add value to the property, offering creative solutions (adding livable square footage to the attic unit for a duplex up) that made a significant impact. His attention to detail and ability to identify areas for improvement helped enhance the property's after rehab value, all while staying within budget. What stood out most was his excellent communication throughout the entire process—he was always available to address questions or concerns and kept me updated on progress (daily updates). His professionalism and efficiency were unmatched, making the project run smoothly from start to finish. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and thoughtful contractor."

"I recently had All Pro Remodeling renovate my bathroom and complete a few other projects around my home, and I was very satisfied with the results. From start to finish, they were professional, punctual, and reliable—qualities that were hard to find with previous companies I had contacted over the past three years. What really stood out to me was their commitment to ensuring everything went smoothly. They brought all their own supplies and coordinated with me to align their schedule with the delivery of materials I had ordered. The communication was excellent, and the quality of their work was exactly what I had been hoping for. I will definitely be reaching out to them again for any future projects."

We wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for our contracting needs."

"Geovanny did an amazing job painting our very large basement. This was a complex project, involving washing wallpaper adhesive off the walls prior to painting and painting lots of wooden surfaces (wooden paneling and baseboards, door trims, and windows trims). His team knocked it out of the park! They were very neat and detail oriented. I would definitely recommend him!"

"This contractor performed a large number of repair/renovation tasks ranging from hard to reach light bulb replacement and under sink plumbing repairs which were very stubborn to ceramic tile removal and replacement. Also did miscellaneous hardware replacement and wood door repair, ceramic tile countertop joint repair, drywall removal, replacement and painting and other similar tasks which were of considerable quantity. One more notable repair was a faulty outdoor hose connection which required cutting into a basement wall and removing a portion of pipe and replacing a connection between it and the shut off valve. Naturally, the inside wall opening was still not easily navigated for the job. I add that for the past 3 years several plumbers that did other work in my house didn't have a clue of what to do and shied away fro the task."

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

While flat and satin finishes are ideal for garage or front doors, siding, and trim, gloss and semi-gloss are more common on shutters. That’s because these types of finishes highlight this proportionally smaller exterior home feature, adding both contrast and layers of texture to the overall facade. Other types of finishes aren’t off limits, but you’ll have more success by choosing one that provides a nice sheen. 

Depending on your lighting and design style, some finishes will enhance certain colors to your liking more than others. For example, high-gloss finishes can intensify deeper shades such as navy blue and emerald green, making them feel luxurious and bold. On the other hand, you may appreciate how soft pastels and neutrals have a more calming, smooth feel in matte or eggshell finishes.

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

The best closet paint colors will help make it easier to get dressed. Cool, contrasting whites make all of your clothing items pop and help you feel like you have a more organized closet by creating a crisp, clean background. For a more luxurious feel, jewel-toned paints like emerald or ruby can have a widening effect, making your closet appear larger and deeper. Satin finishes are less likely to show scuffs and streaks than semi-gloss paints, making them ideal for closets.

Costs depend on room size, wall condition, and the required coats.
